Case Study -
CCTV for a High Tech Pharmaceutical Plant
The client (a well-known MNC pharmaceutical
company) had a new milk formula manufacturing plant.
The 9 storey plant is manned by less than 10
staff, hence there is a need to know if something is amiss during
the manufacturing process.
The plant is a high temperature clean room
environment and all cabling conduits and junction box inside the
plant must be stainless steel.
EurekaPlus were selected to implement the CCTV
system with multiple DVRs. During the installation phase, our
engineers were suited up in clean room dress code, and all our
equipment were cleaned to meet the cleaning room standard.
EurekaPlus successfully implemented the CCTV
system that works in this clean room environment so that the control
room staff have a clear view of what is happening at the different
production processes within the different levels inside the plant.
Case Study - Monitoring of Construction
Project over Internet
The client (a government organisation) had a
camera installed at the roof terrace of a famous Singapore landmark,
overlooking the bay and the construction of a high-profile
integrated entertainment resort.
The client engaged the security system
integrator (let's call them company J; a rather well-known system
integrator) who also installed the security cameras in that famous
landmark.
Unfortunately the video from the roof terrace
camera looked "washed-out" and grainy despite many attempts by the
engineers from company J to improve the system.
After asking around, someone pointed to
EurekaPlus as the one who can help the client solve the problem.
We did a site audit, make some changes, and solved the client's
problem.
The camera is now proudly showcasing to the
world the day-to-day progress of the high-profile entertainment
resort construction.
Case Study - CCTV Viewing over Internet
The client engaged a "big" security system
integrator to install a CCTV system for their residence. The
project was sub-contracted out to a third party (contractor who are
mainly electricians). Cameras were installed but they cannot
get the viewing over Internet working properly.
The "big" security system integrator & the
sub-contractor tried for a period of 3 months but failed to get the
problem solved. Out of desperation, they turned to the DVR
manufacturer for help & the DVR manufacturer pointed them to
EurekaPlus as the specialist for DVR configuration viewing over
Internet.
After understanding about the configuration of
the client's network, we solved the viewing over Internet problem in
one session.
Case Study - CCTV at a Shipyard
The client had a "partially working" CCTV
system at her shipyard. The "wireless" CCTV system was
installed by another vendor who promised them that their wireless
cameras will enable the client to see the other corner of the yard
from their HQ building.
During the testing & commissioning phase, the
vendor gave up half way because the wireless cameras were working
intermittently with extremely poor video quality. There were
frequent video loss and the wireless cameras were unusable.
After using the "partially working" (because
there were a few working wired cameras) for about a year, the client
approached EurekaPlus for advice and help to replace their faulty
wired cameras.
After the site survey, it was obvious to the
EurekaPlus consultant that there is no way the "Mickey Mouse"
wireless transmitters installed by the first vendor are going to
work at that kind of environment and distance. The EurekaPlus
consultant advised the client to consider installing wired CCTV in
the future in order to have a problem free working CCTV system.
Case Study -
CCTV for a Stable
The client runs a stable. Due to the
nature of their business, it is important that all activities within
the stable must be monitored and recorded.
EurekaPlus successfully implemented a CCTV
system within the stable so that all activities related to the
animals are monitored and the owner can have a clear view of what is
happening at the stable areas while in the office or at home.
Case Study -
CCTV for a Large Warehouse & Retail Outlet
The client runs a spare parts business and
they have a big warehouse cum HQ office at Jurong as well as a
retail outlet near town area.
At the big warehouse, some of the parts may be
small but expensive, hence it is important to have a video recording
(both as deterrent and as evidence) in case items go missing.
At the retail outlet, the client wants to be
able to monitor the traffic flow as well as keep an eye on the
stocks in the retail outlet.
EurekaPlus implemented 2 CCTV systems, one at
the warehouse/HQ office and another at the retail outlet. All
activities within the warehouse and retail outlets are monitored.
With our system, the client is now able to see
ALL the cameras at the warehouse as well as the retail
outlets on a SINGLE computer screen from the HQ office, home
or while travelling overseas.
Case Study -
CCTV for a Tunnel Expressway Construction
Project
The client (a well-known MNC) had won a
infrastructure project to build part of a tunnel expressway.
Part of the contract required them to provide a live CCTV system
over the Internet for the government agency to monitor the
construction progress remotely.
It was a huge construction site and the
furthest PTZ camera was slightly more than 1 km away.
EurekaPlus successfully implemented a CCTV
system in this construction environment with multiple PTZ cameras
mounted on poles. The site office has a large monitor showing
live view video from the cameras, which saves the site supervisors a
lot of time as now he can know the progress on the work site from
the CCTV without having to walk to the other end of the construction
site too frequently.
The awarding agency project director can now
also monitor, control the PTZ cameras and playback video remotely
from his HQ office located in the town area.
Case Study -
Hotel CCTV System
The client is a hotel with multiple DVRs and
cameras installed many years back. Unfortunately, over the
years, the previous vendors did not do a good job of maintaining the
CCTV system.
EurekaPlus was brought in to do an audit and a
migration plan so that the CCTV systems can be updated to new
technology progressively to provide better picture quality and ease
of use, as the faulty parts were replaced gradually.
We have helped by redesigning the DVR
locations inside the security room to provide space for more
screens. We have also installed new cameras inside the lifts
and some back of house areas to improve security.
Case Study - Vandalism
Problem at a Conference Room
The security chief of a MNC approached
EurekaPlus to find a solution to solve the vandalism problem at
their conference room.
Someone has been urinating into the stainless
steel rubbish bin located at their conference room.
After installing the covert DVR camera system
from EurekaPlus, the security chief caught the vandal within a week.
Case Study -
Oil & Gas Equipment Pressure Testing
Our client from the Oil & Gas industry wanted
to be able to monitor and record the equipment pressure testing at
the control room near to the test pit.
In this case, besides implementing a full
scale CCTV system for the whole of the factory plant, EurekaPlus
also designed a monitoring system that includes 2 PTZ (Pan Tilt
Zoom) cameras inside the test pit. From the control room, the
testing officer can look at the equipment under test at any angle
and zoom factor.
After 2 years, the client engaged EurekaPlus
to improve the system to include live monitoring over Internet and
recording of the pressure gauge reading for the equipment under
test.
The system also allowed the client to give out
access passwords so that their clients can log in to look at the
equipment under test anytime through the Internet. Segment of
video recorded during the test phase can also be burnt into DVD and
given to the client.
Case Study - Monitoring of Roller
Coaster Construction from Abroad
Our client was a US company tasked to build a
roller coaster for the Sentosa Integrated Resort.
As a global company, the project director has
to travel quite a fair bit and he wants to be able to view the
progress of the roller coaster construction at Sentosa from his
computer from different parts of the world that he travelled to.
The other challenge is that the camera system
has to be wireless as laying of any cable is impossible.
EurekaPlus customised a PTZ camera (Pan Tilt
Zoom) with a ruggedized portable DVR system connected to the
Internet through a 3G connection. The system is mounted on top
of a tower and requires only a power connection. The client is
able to log in and monitor the progress of the construction (pan,
tilt or zoom in) of the roller coaster from any part of the world.
Case Study -
Surveillance at a Corrosive Environment by
the Beach
Our client was building a world class
entertainment display by the beach, with architectural structures
stretching from the beach to 100 metres out to the sea.
EurekaPlus won the project to build the
surveillance systems to secure the whole entertainment setup,
including PTZ and fixed IR cameras at the far end of the structures
(~100m away from the shore), and other strategic locations within
the show area.
The surveillance system on time.
The cabling and equipment was pelted by salt
water twice every night during show time (each show lasts about 1
hour). Despite the corrosive environment, the surveillance
system is still running fine after 3 years of operation.
Case Study -
Centralised Surveillance Monitoring of an
Island from the Security Control Station
Our client is a popular island resort visited
by 5 million people yearly, and has an area of 5 square kilometres.
Due to its relatively large area and heavy
human traffic, EurekaPlus won a project to help them design and
implement a centralised surveillance monitoring system.
After EurekaPlus's implementation of the
Centralised Monitoring System, the security team on duty can monitor
the activities of the different tourist attractions located at
different parts of the Island simultaneously. all from the security
control station, which is manned 24 x 7.
This system enhanced the effectiveness of the
security department in their work of solving security issues at the
Island.
Case Study - Security System
Consultancy for a Giant Observation Wheel
Our client is one of Asia's most visible
iconic visitor attraction. The giant observation wheel
provides a breathtaking panoramic views of Singapore and beyond.
During the construction phase, EurekaPlus
consultant was engaged as a security system expert to advise the
client on a suitable security systems.
EurekaPlus consultant worked with the client's
builders and contractors to ensure that the security system in place
was suitable, complied with specifications and met the client's
operational security needs.
Case Study -
Vandalism at a Hospital Public Phone
Our client is a government hospital that was
having a couple of their public pay phones vandalised and coin box
broken into.
EurekaPlus was engaged by the hospital
security department to install a covert surveillance system that
blends in with the environment to catch the culprit.
Within one week after our
GeniusGuard™
Sharkbuster system was installed, the culprit was caught.
Case Study - Security for Chemical
Manufacturing / Storage Plant
Our client is a MNC chemical manufacturer and
has a couple of manufacturing and storage facilities in Singapore.
For security reasons, the client was required
by the authority to install proper security measures and systems to
ensure compliance, failing which their license to manufacture and
store chemicals will be revoked.
Despite the short notice given, EurekaPlus
went all out and helped the client to design and implement a
security monitoring system that complied with the authority
requirement. This has prevented a disruption to the client's
production schedule and activities in their manufacturing and
storage facilities.
Case Study - Warehouse
Security System for High End Designer Label
Our client is a world renown designer label
with a warehouse located at a different location from the Singapore
HQ office.
EurekaPlus was chosen to design and implement
a security system in order to help the executives located at the HQ
office to keep tab of what was happening at the warehouse, and to
secure the warehouse as well.
EurekaPlus implemented a networked CCTV system
with motion triggered illumination to secure the warehouse which
stores all kinds of expensive branded merchandise. Through the
Intranet, the executives at the HQ can log in to view live or
playback the recorded video of the warehouse cameras.
Case Study - I Caught My Maid Looking at
My Letters
Like thousands of many other Singaporean
families, our client is a professional working mother who has to
rely on her maid to look after the house and her baby during the
day.
Somehow she noticed something amiss with her
new maid. Her colleague recommended EurekaPlus to her as a
covert surveillance system specialist.
After purchasing the
Memocam covert camera DVR from
EurekaPlus, she caught her maid going through her letters and her
credit cards. The maid was subsequently sent back.
Case Study -
You Get What You Pay For
A Client came to EurekaPlus, looking for a
covert camera system for home use. She actually bought a "el
cheapo" brand (i.e. cheap) of spy camera hidden inside a motion
sensor box from a Do It Yourself store. Upon opening the
package, the box dropped onto the floor and the box broke into 2
pieces, which cannot be fixed back.
After seeing the demo of our
Memocam, she bought it straight
away and has been a happy user of the Memocam.
Case Study - Now I Know Why the Peanut
Butter Cream Ran Out So Fast
When a client came back to purchase another
Memocam system, she mentioned
that the Memocam she bought earlier caught her maid's unhygienic
act.
The Memocam video showed that her maid had
been dipping her fingers into the Peanut Butter jar to scoop up the
peanut butter cream and licked it. She did it a few times
(consecutively, without washing her fingers after each licking) and
put the Peanut Butter jar back to the fridge.
